Yes, and more coherent vocals wouldn't hurt either, and less sustain. And Kevin, for another trippy effect, how bout ya try putting some autotune on your Jaguar praps? That whole bendy-notes thing is making me sea sick.

Ugh, this is the last album I would have ever wanted to see remastered.

That looks really cool, thanks for the tip. Interesting, and I guess that makes sense. I can understand how they might be too emotional for certain more ascetic sects, especially considering the nature of almost every Middle Eastern or Eastern playing-style (even devotional) that comes to...

Been getting more into the myth of the West this year (as opposed to my interest the last coupla years in German Romanticism), falling more and more in love with Los Angeles, Orange County, etc (Lynch has really played a part in opening my eyes to the beauty around me here, what a fucking legacy...

As far as the whole Romantic cult of the individual, it wasn't as selfish as it might sound these days to lefty-intellectual types. It was in part an outgrowth of Rousseau's passionate individualism that emphasized choice, the chance to metaprogram yourself free from authority... which was a...

Yeah, I know whatcha mean. Following on your thoughts on these styles being traceable back to Moroder, one could look at the Italian progressive stuff that followed as a kind of proto-trance... Cosmic as early hippy trance (proggy noodling, Tangerine Dream-esque New Age-isms, bongos and World...

Chris Rea - Josephine kind of fits that description, though there's a much more disco-y, Balearic sounding version that I used to have on another computer before it crashed. Might have it on disc somewhere though... damn I hope, perfect yacht-rock/disco crossover.

haha... the Eagles? That's why not, or not often, I s'pose.

If by Cosmic American Rock, you mean mellow, eyes-on-the-horizon, West Coast country-soul... I'd say probably that 72/73/74 Grateful Dead own the genre... Favorite albumwise... David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name. And yeah Chris Bell's I Am the Cosmos probably should be...

MC Hammer, Celine Dion, Eric Clapton ...wow

:( the man defined motorik yeah it's amazing how many bands and genres his chugging, minimal sensibility influenced in some way... he, and Rother, were onto something so universal that their style was almost a missing link between various opposing sonic camps... a model and ethic that I don't...

just a heads up to anyone in Cali come May. >>>info<<< seeya in L.A.

Totally... In a way, Lemmy's career could almost be seen as an analogy for the streamlined way Metal evolved, come to think of it! The guy is like Metal History personified, bless 'im.

True, but it's interesting because the definition of "True Metal" is constantly being contested and re-written... early Metal, in it's bluesier incarnations from the late 60s through late 70s (when Judas Priest changed the game), pretty much was what we'd call Stoner Rock now (or even...

YES. Late 60s/early 70s-style late Psych/pre-Metal freakout and dark-drone is pretty fucking on right now in L.A., Santa Cruz, San Fran, etc... I'd also recommend Comets on Fire, the Entrance Band, Earthless, Om, and Sunburned.

resentment's an ugly thing...

(not that I wasn't giggling through this thread... but my, aren't we a little catty around here?)

ZING! Lol at peoples' regional dialects and assumed religious beliefs! Bloody silly innit.

Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters... I'm really liking this more atmospheric, nature-worship side of Black Metal Xasthur - Defective Epitaph Om - Pilgrimage... the boys have a very simple formula but it rules face. The Valerie Project... soundtrack project for hauntingly beautiful...
